The TBICU is a 10 bed ICU that provides care for critically ill trauma and burn patients (adult and pediatric) for the University of Michigan Level 1 Trauma Center, verified by the American College of Surgeons, and the Burn Center, verified by the American Burn Association as meeting or exceeding the highest standards of care for the most critically injured patients. The TBICU is a recognized leader in treating the most severely injured trauma and burn patients, particularly those with multi-system trauma. The TBICU also has special expertise in the care of critically ill patients with life-threatening skin disorders (including Stevens - Johnson syndrome and TENS) and necrotizing soft tissue infections.
